The tunnel will be called the Music City Loop and — according to Lee and other officials at Monday's event — will be undertaken with no cost to taxpayers. It will connect BNA to the Music City Center and allow users to travel from the airport to the convention facility in eight minutes. The first phase would involve a 10-mile tunnel.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell didn't have much to say about the proposed underground tunnel. However, Rep. John Ray Clemmons deeply criticized the plan, while Speaker Cameron Sexton praised it.

The Boring Company and the state are expected to announce plans today for a tunnel from the Nashville International Airport to Downtown, according to Axios.

Traveling from the heart of downtown Nashville to the Nashville International Airport might become a lot easier.
